@Willa__DT A grin like that almost made Fred forget that air needed to be in those so called lungs as his frame calmed and rested back against his attacker.

His own smile was slow and steady as he eyed her.

“I was distracted.”

[𝙵𝚁𝙴𝙳! @Forge_DT]

@Willa__DT One minute he’s reading, working diligently on this next assignment — for once.

The next, a gasp for sweet air, eyes widening in shock and perhaps something unnamed as he fell back into Willa’s lap.

“For Merlin’s sake —“

It was garbled, fitful.

[𝙵𝚁𝙴𝙳! @Forge_DT]

@Ferris__DT @Gred_DT Obviously mate, we’re well into the galleons now. Fancy giving it a go?

[𝙵𝚁𝙴𝙳! @Forge_DT]

@Willa__DT He smiled wide, his voice endearingly incredulous as his head shook.

“Shut up.”

Fred fully leaned for her head, thumb tilting her chin up as her lips were claimed in the kiss he should have indulged in weeks ago .

[𝙵𝚁𝙴𝙳! @Forge_DT]

In the middle of class, delivered into @Willa__DT’s hands was a beckoning note in the elegant script of Professor McGonagall had been forged, a request to meet her in the Transfiguration classroom — something regarding Willa’s prefect duties.

The Transfig >>

@Willa__DT her attention again.

“And I’m sorry I didn’t ask you.”

[𝙵𝚁𝙴𝙳! @Forge_DT]

@Willa__DT A smile finally broke through when she tried to cover his face, Fred’s free hand raising to rest against hers before letting fingers intertwine with her own so that both could be lowered out of the way.

He lowered further then, giving her chin a little tilt to try and steal >>

[𝙵𝚁𝙴𝙳! @Forge_DT]

@Willa__DT “I like you too. . And —“

A hand hesitated this time, no alcohol to lace his mind. Fingers whispered along her cheek, Fred sighing as he briefly broke their gaze.

“How do I say this nicely? . . The next bloke you kiss that isn’t me, might wind up dead.”

[𝙵𝚁𝙴𝙳! @Forge_DT]

@Willa__DT That didn’t stop the beater from taking his next step, a faint grin tugging at the very corners of his lips as he moved forward.

“Want to hear a secret, Will?”

He arched a brow.

[𝙵𝚁𝙴𝙳! @Forge_DT]

@Willa__DT Arms slowly fell to his sides, long legs carrying him forward. Each step was unhurried and precise as he took his time.

“I want to hear it from you.”

He admitted, and it was genuine as he drew near.

[𝙵𝚁𝙴𝙳! @Forge_DT]

@Willa__DT His own stomach flipped in return at the sight of those curls, the familiar lilt of her voice that found him.

Don’t loose sight, Fred. Eyes on the prize.

“You’ve been sold out, Willa Foxcraft.”

The sleeves of his shirt were folded up towards the elbow, arms crossed.

classroom was of course vacated at this hour for the professor’s free period — one she often spent in the Headmaster’s Office.

Instead, in front of that desk waiting was Fred Weasley. The pair hadn’t spoken since Yule Ball — but the moment she was back in reach, a move was made.

[𝙵𝚁𝙴𝙳! @Forge_DT]

@AGold_DT me and other me

[𝙵𝚁𝙴𝙳! @Forge_DT]

@Gred_DT And what did blithering idiot, Fred Weasley, get out of this entire conversation other than a pain to his shoulder?

Brows furrowed and relaxed, the redhead spinning to look at the back that now faces him. There was the realization, really hitting him.

“She likes me?”

[𝙵𝚁𝙴𝙳! @Forge_DT]

@Gred_DT “So you just go and shag her?! Because I didn’t read enough into feelings and thoughts that weren’t ever said out loud? I’m not a bloody Legilimens!”

[𝙵𝚁𝙴𝙳! @Forge_DT]

@Gred_DT Words struck and lashed at him, truths that cut deep and pain that salted thereafter. And yeah, maybe it was all true.

But was there any reason at all for it to be taken so far? The answer was no. >>

[𝙵𝚁𝙴𝙳! @Forge_DT]

@Gred_DT And yet, it would have to be spelled out for him as always. He had to be faced with those harsh realities.

[𝙵𝚁𝙴𝙳! @Forge_DT]

@Gred_DT “What the hell are you talking about, George?!”

His face contorted, the beater standing to face his mirror image fully, but perhaps it was clear to the brother that knew him best. . there was no confusion etched in those features.
